BE INSPIRED | STEPPING INTO SPRING!

Welcome to March's Be Inspired Design Team Blog Hop! This month the theme is Stepping into Spring. Here in the South Pacific we are in Autumn and plodding into Winter! The weather is glorious at the moment, I love this time of year.  I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone has created! P lease be sure to hop all the way around for lots of inspirational projects created by the design team.  So in the spirit of spring, I have used the word "spring" from the Hey Birthday Chick Stamp set on my card! I have chosen blue and yellow (gold), the national colours of Ukraine, for my card. My thoughts and prayers are with the people of the Ukraine. I water-coloured the chicken, layered it up onto a blended background and added it to a Gingham Embossed panel. This chicken really does have a "spring" in its step!

GLOBAL DESIGN PROJECT #336 | CASE THE DESIGNER

Welcome to my blog! Today I'm sharing the card I made for this week's Global Design Project #336 | CASE THE DESIGNER. And yes, this week we are caseing me! I'm excited to see what everyone will create using my card as a starting point! Here's our definition of CASE ... CASE = Copy And Selectively Edit Remember that when you CASE a project you can take what you like from the design and make it your own. It might be the stamp set - the colours, the layout, the theme, the images - whatever you like that has inspired you to make a card of your own. I used the gorgeous Prized Peony Stamp Set and co-ordinating Peony Dies to create my card. I kept the layout much the same just changed up a few things. If you are ever stuck on making a card, I think CASEing is a great place to start, it gets you creating and often once you have started you don't want to stop!
